My main timeline feels more and more grim. I could use some vicarious joy. What has given you joy lately?

I spent about as much time on a laptop #today as I would have if I hadn't taken the day off. The critical difference being it was my personal laptop. I was on the couch the whole time, not closeted in my office. I spent the time on my own projects. I wrote about as much as I sometimes do for $dayjob but it was for my own site, for my own enjoyment. Small but critical differences.

#today was a pretty good day. I fully wrapped up my current PR, a trio of improvements for adopters of my SDK at $dayjob. Some quality of life improvements for React, client and server-side both, along with a decent upgrade to error handling and messaging in the SDK. I am much happier about the improved clarity of errors arising from the most common issues, especially misconfiguration. I also welcomed a new team member. Hopefully they are not put off by my long winded nature.

OK, I guess turnabout is fair play with the cultural appropriation? These three break dancers are here for it! Now I want a spin off with their story featuring Benedict Wong. How come so few of our modern actors make such ridiculous fun like this any more? #TheLastDragon #KungFuSat

Good morning and TZAG, friends. I woke with some anxiety belly #today. My morning sit helped but still feeling some feelings now that my morning reading is done and my mug of tea is empty. Last week was a lot to process at $dayjob, many months of this project remain ahead. Current events likewise will take years to unfold one way or another. I think I have the strength needed, now contemplating how to sustain it.
